Re: [PLUG] DSL / telco translation question


Run a cable on the outside of the house? Use a high-gain, directional antenna?

I've determined that my DSL intermittancy is almost certainly due to
internal wiring in my house[1].  Rerunning the wire is very difficult,
since it's an old house and the run is rather long.

I've thought about doubling pairs[2], but I suspect I'd only introduce
worse reflection problems.

Another solution is to put the DSL modem in the basement and run two
802.11 routers in bridge mode.  Major disadvantage is I  have to pay
for two new 802.11 boxes.

Another solution is to ask that my line be reprovisioned to a lower
speed and figure I'm going to move next year.

Anyone see another solution?
